Several local performers will take to the streaming airwaves of youtube in a nod to telethons of days gone by to raise fund for working performers who've ben affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you don't know about these old school telethons, go talk to your grandparents or start here.
The telethon is called No Days Off Orlando (Website | Facebook) and will run 6pm til midnight Saturday March 21st.
The telethon will have notable guest hosts, speakers, comedians and more.
It will be hosted by Andy Matchett, a local singer, songwriter, playwright, director and actor and shooting live at Blackburst Entertainment studios, a block away from the intersection of Mills Avenue and Highway 50.
Matchett told Broadway World, "I want this to feel like the old-school Jerry Lewis telethons. A lot of movement, action, music and comedy. All with a great cause behind it."
The organizers' goal is to have at least two separate filming spaces in the studio: one for live bands and the other for solo performers.
